DIY Easy Tiered Ruffle Midi Skirt | Beginner Friendly Tutorial

[@BabyBlue1308]

just a heads up, ripping will only work this way with a woven fabric!

[@baristascallmewolfgang]

Ooh thanks for mentioning that!!

[@sunkittyleo]

Thank you so much because I wanted to make this with the velvet I have. I’ve never sewn but I’m done being scared of messing up my sewing machine or fabric. I’ll probably do a test run with cheaper fabric though hehe.

[@AllyBurkholder]

​@@sunkittyleo Velvet is (at least usually) woven, although I'm not sure if it would split AS nicely or if you'd end up with little fur everywhere. Also, depending on the type of velvet, be aware that it might not drape the same, as it can be thicker and/or stiffer. You might find luck with shorter rectangles (so less gathering, as it could be really thick to sew through!) Don't get discouraged, although if you struggle a nice cotton might make you feel more comfortable with the machine. Good luck!

[@coughh2742]

This is my first sewing project in years and I didn't know it can be fun!

[@melaniesosa7031]

Mmm can u help me? The measurements on the minute 11:46 are with the fabric folded? Like 87' should be 174'?

[@suree861]

@@melaniesosa7031 if anyone is wondering, i’m pretty sure they’re folded

[@nicolekaylene]

I’m here 2 years too late 🤭 but this is amazing!! The instructions are super clear and you make it look so easy. I’m planning on making my own in black ☺️

[@skygillespie2114]

THANK YOU! I made this skirt for my gf who is 6ft tall and a thiccc gorl and it fit her perfectly by following this video! now we are ren fest ready!

[@silvershards5551]

Finally have a Gmail! This channel is SO underrated! I have just taken up sewing clothes as a hobby and these vids inspired me! Just balancing sewing with school is kind of hard though!

[@citlalingalvan924]

I usually use that as motivation to finish school work faster so I have time to sew! Or whenever I’m overwhelmed with school, sewing helps me destress and feel calmer.

[@silvershards5551]

Yeah it’s just sometimes I am not good at staying focused

[@lelouchvibritannia4235]

I’ve been wanting to make a tiered skirt for a while!! This inspired me!!

[@sheridans4720]

This is the best tutorial I have run across. I made this skirt and it looks SO GOOD. Thank you for this!!! ❤🙏🏻

[@skystar6060]

Currently wearing this skirt right now!! Mine is a little different because I only had 2yd, but i love it so much, I'm so grateful i found you

[@cass.cassandra1685]

Could you maybe do a tutorial or sit down explain video where you talk about how you make patterns and how you size them to fit you perfectly. I have a really hard time making my patterns fit properly, so I would love to know how you do it! Thanks, love your videos!

[@DIYFashionRebel]

I've been struggling with a skirt that transitions between summer and winter as well, so I'll definitely have to try this one!

[@lotje188]

Really helpful for the 4 part gathering… always struggling doing these kind of gatherings 😭 never tried doing it in 4 parts! 😍🤩

[@emmawitt4898]

The skirt came out so beautiful!! Super flowy and the color is so cute😍

[@alexandraball3190]

Great tip for gathering, splitting it into sections like that! I'm never doing it another way again!

[@renjiai]

This is such a Sleeping Beauty look.

[@WietekeLeijten]

This is going to be my first project that isnt adjusting or fixing something. Very excited!

[@sophieseidl4764]

Ahhhhh these are so pretty!!!!! Can’t wait to make

[@victoriaferrisi8508]

Thanks for including the material! I struggle with following tutorials where the fabric isn’t listed and I don’t know what to look for at the store. I’ve wanted to make a skirt just like this for a while

[@danalowenstein7940]

Amazing tutorial! I’m a beginner and I followed it and the skirt turned out so well! Thank you❤

[@evawu3603]

Absolutely fell in love with this skirt when I saw the thumbnail. I really wanna make this😭

[@nandanakochu6405]

I've been watching couple of videos of how to make this skirt and lemme tell you this was the MOST useful video that I've watched. I've been confused by how to match the middle tier to the top one and the bottom to the middle since no one actually showed them. I'm so happy i found this video as you actually showed how to gather and make them align. Thank you so much ♡

[@niklitis]

I have a patchwork skirt like this I got from a thrift store. I hope I’ll be able to recreate this well lol. Prolly gonna be my first project since 2018

[@oakleyanderson6183]

I hope mine turns out as beautiful as yours did ❤❤

[@caitlinmarie2779]

ally you are giving HUGE mabel pines energy in this

[@PaperStxrs]

That’s all I can ever hope for lol🥺

[@anakin26551]

Omg hi thx so much for all these tutorials ally I love them and they are so helpful love these type of skirts I'm always sewing along

[@Camomilemilktea]

It turned out great! Thank you, I am super super new and this is was very clear, I did screw up a few times but I have a new beautiful skirt. Thank you!

[@Trendycraft-v2f]

How much fabric is needed

[@naynerlang]

What an excellent and clear tutorial! I have this same fabric in cerulean and have been itching to work with it. This is just what I've been looking for, thank you!

[@merel4518]

exactly what i've been wanting to make! ty!

[@carissahernandez4101]

Thank you for this post! You’re a fantastic teacher 😀

[@surrenderlotusfeet7119]

Hare Krishna. Thank you. I tried last week, before I saw your video today, but made the mistake of not making two running stitches for gathering. Your video is precise and I will definitely try again. Thanks for the tip on the running stitches on the elastic.

[@heidig2618]

Thank you!!!so helpful, you gave me ideas I would have never thought of!!Awesome!

[@SparkleFeyed]

I love this style of skirt! I only have about 10 projects to finish first... 🤔😂

[@bigtimefans100]

I'm trying to see the basics of a tiered skirt since I made my other skirt and it was a patchwork and it's been one of my favorites:) I want to upcycle some old dresses that I don't really wear anymore and give them new life because I'm too attached to the memories I made in them to give it away😭

[@ArabianShalifa]

Lovely skirt! It would be a summer skirt for me as that material is so thin and it gets cold here in the winter. The gauze-y material the dress I am wearing today should not be worn outside but I do wear it to get weighed.

[@liviepie]

Alrighty, now I just need a sewing machine

[@joyanih7294]

Hope you got it😅

[@joyanih7294]

Ok, but that bodice is beautiful!!!!!

[@sussybaka9072]

I always wanted to make this skirt

[@teerecords]

This is adorable, thank you😊

[@katelynsass8581]

This tutorial was super helpful! I made a skirt inspired by Mirabel with this video. Can't wait to try other stuff on your channel.

[@pompe221]

This is EXACTLY the kind of skirt I've been wanting to make but I didn't have a pattern.

[@Cornflower20]

Super cute design!

[@kellyrichards6529]

Just beautiful!

[@sg7835]

I don’t even know how to sew but I love your videos😂🤩

[@bertaobelsanvig1666]

This is THE BEST tutorial i have EVER seen 👀 but i have one question ❤️ is the measurements in inches or cm? 🌈💅 I really cant wait to make that skirt 😁

[@mallory9289]

inches i think 🫶

[@HeyThereMickey]

Beautiful

[@petek9226]

So smooth hands.

[@shadowrider2432]

I'm making a leather hair cuff while watching this video. Great work as always Ms. Ally. I'm already looking forward to the next video in 2 weeks. Can you make something using leather?

[@marlinde3136]

Thank you so much for this! I was making a tiered dress and my first attempt kinda failed since I didn't place the stitches high enough to gather and had to undo all of it... should have watched this before lol the 4 parting is really helpful! How do you easily get out the gathering stitches at the end? It takes me a while...

[@bellagmakeup]

Your vids are amazing as always!! been here since 1k subs

Please tell me you filmed a tutorial on that top???! It’s so beautiful 😄💕

[@christinalaydon988]

Where did you get the fabric for the bodice? It’s so pretty!

[@something_subliminal3364]

this is so cute!! do you have any ideas on how you could possibly add pockets to it…? :o i really wanna make one for myself, and i think pockets would be a great addition!!

[@pugsaregreats]

Love the bodice! Is it self made?!

[@pikitat]

Super clear and easy tutorial. Thank you for sharing! (Also, that pink sweater in the beginning is so cute I could hardly focus!)

[@mereldesmedt4639]

This reminds me of Aurora's cottage dress, could you make a tutorial on that one? I'd like to give it a go but I'm unsure about where to start

[@MarimbaMaurice]

Seems like a crime to make a skirt yourself and not add pockets :D Thanks a lot for the helpful tutorial though!

[@islalin3782]

I really want to start making my own clothes and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on good sewing machine to make clothes that aren’t too expensive (I’m only 13）I was looking at midi machines if their any good

hi! I was wondering if you measured inches or centimeters? lovely video!

[@tablesaregr8]

omg ive been thinking of making this yesterday!! good thing your video came in on the right time :D

The first piece, is it 53 inches folded or un folded?

Sorry, do you put each tier in right side out? I got so confused putting it together as your fabric is the same either side.

on the third tier did you cut 6 pieces or 8?

I bought 3 yards and have a 20 x 65in piece left.

[@Ethnicbeauty]

Can we see it on you standing still? I wanna see it at it’s resting state to see what it would looks like if I sat or stood there

[@juliacole3941]

I just had an idea: a zip up skirt with the zipper on the side, but the zipper is a double zipper that goes up the whole length of the skirt. that way it could be unzipped from the bottom to make an adjustable slit! 😃

[@tanstrums]

omg that sounds so cool!!

[@ivythibault1552]

When i sew the straight stitches across the waistband to make it lay flat it always ends up not fitting after, the waistband becomes too loose :( is it my fabric? Or should i just take off 4 inches instead of 2 since it seems to gain 2 inches after the straight stitches

Ahh! This literally just happened to me!

Hold up. In the pattern pieces it said only 1 piece for the second tier, but in the tutorial it says 2. Can anyone confirm: 1 or 2? Or do you cut the piece in half?

[@blankspace0006]

It is one piece. However if u feel its difficult to manage during the cutting process, u can spilt into 2 pieces for your convenience
